Abstract
In this paper is explored the possibility of using the analytically category of identity to address what has been the discourse of critics, commentators and researchers of art in Latin America during the last decades. Should be made clear that the concept of identity, as many concepts used in the reflection and analysis of the creative and humanistic processes, is a polysemic concept, in the sense that not all who use it consistent with the definition of its meaning. So, this work will be based on three visions oppose the concept of cultural identity: the illustrated vision; the sociologist vision and postmodern vision, which are, each one, strongly associated with three types of concepts of social subjects. From this, its application is proposed to analyze the thinking about the activity of arts and culture in Latin America.
